new book by W. II. c. Folsom, before
mentioned in the JOURNAL, proves it's
claims to the attention of all who are
: interested ir the early west and It's

J spending Christmas and attending to

A. w. Lund, our genial carriage and
wagon manufacturer, gave evidence
of his largeness of heart by presenting
to each of his employees Christmas
turkey. The only drawback to An.
drew is, that he persists in wandering
to and fro on the earth with mo one
to love, none to caress.''
The Sunday School entertainment at
the Congregational church Christmas
night drew a large audience, filling |
the auditorium and parlors to their
full capacity. The exercises were
exceedingly pleasing, the children |
participating giving evidence of care
and study. and doing their parts with |
an aptness worthy the youths pre-
cocity of this generation.
As next Sunday is the commence.
ment of leap year, we congratulate all |
the manageable men that are worth |
having, on the prospect that may Turk |
in the near future of their being |
snatched fIom life's dreary waste of |
desolation Nv the fair sex, whose cour- |
age may serve to break the spell of |
timidity that has so long enthralled |
the masculine heart.
Col. ID. J. Dill, of Prescott, Ezra
Healy, of River Falls, and David Rice, |

Judge Hancock members of the Sol |
diers' Relief Commission for Pierce |

304, Laws of 1887. The commission |
will hold its first meeting on the first |
Monday in January next at the office !
of the County Clerk.
w. II. Forbes, proprietor of the Maj. |
Burnett farm, is chOpping cornstalks |
with an ensilage cutter and subjecting |
the cut feed thus obtained to a steam
ing process, which sOftens and par
TALLY cooks it, thus saving all of the |
stalks and converting them into very
acceptable rations of which the stock |
are very fond, and on which they are |
thriving.
The Christmas entertainment at the |
NJ. E. church on Monday night was |
departure from the favorite Cristmas |
tree program, substituting therefor
rainbow with innumerable gifts to the
children. The house was filled to |
overlooking, many being forced to |
return home for want of space. 1t |
was pleasing entertainment and fully |
satisfied the children, for whom it was
undertaken.
As the year 1887 has nearly gone to
the shades where all years go. and
1888 will soon appear in its robust
infancy, our thoughts turn gratefully
to the patrons of the JOURNAL for
their kind recollection and increasing
patronage, and while we extend to all
the people the same right hand of
fellowship, we mentally shout with
unallOyed heartiness and good will,
HAPPY NEW YEAR,
o. S. Powell is giving ensilage full
and fair trial. At his home farm he
put the corn from 10 acres into silo
of three bins, and commenced feeding
80 head of cattle, 10 horses, and $50
sheep on the 10Th day of November,
and finds that his stock is all doing
we'll, and that the three bins will carry
them through to spring in fine condi-
tion. Mr.. Powel's undertaking, fol-
Lowell by such results, seems to settle
the silo question.
The weather has arrived. The win
ter is open. (wide OPEN, coal stoves |
have become cold stoves, and the great |

the base insinuations recently afoat, |
that, Old BOreas had forsaken his |
wonted hauntS and wandered off to |
other regions. "Forty-four below"

pinch all who were up early this morn
ing will testify.
